Toasted Coconut Buckwheat Breakfast

my uselessness when it comes to lunches, I’m a bit of a breakfast bore. And before we get into nine straight months of porridge territory, I’m striving to fit in the remnants-of-summer breakfasts while I still can.

My first foray into buckwheat for breakfast was courtesy of Loving Earth, when they sent me some of their Deluxe Buckinis as a new-baby gift after I had Pepper. Oh it was a bowlful of beauty, especially with a chopped fresh banana, some juicy strawberries and a dash of coconut cream. Perfect breakfast for a crazy-busy (and crazy-starving) mum.

I created this breakfast after staring at a bag of plain buckwheat in my pantry for what seemed like ever. I just didn’t know what to do with it, and I was also a bit reticent to go to so much effort just for breakfast.

Ha. It’s hardly any effort at all, and SO crunchy, toasty, sweet and delicious. Thoroughly recommended, especially if you have jars of superfood bits and bobs like I do, without quite knowing what to do with them.

It’s customisable according to what you have on hand, but the coconut/banana/berry/nut combo is pretty essential. It gives you all sorts of flavour bursts and the banana and berry add the right kind of sweetness and soft contrast to the crunchy bits.

So without further ado (so much ado! Word vomit or what. Sorry about that), make friends with my buckwheat breakfast:

I never stopped eating porridge this year!
I usually make the switch to yogurt at some point in the summer but for whatever reason this year I just kept making porridge.
I think I will give this one a go though…maybe with yogurt and grated apple and chopped dates!
